XS Light Freighter has to be my top one if I had to choose.

The gear Ven Zallow has (green lightsaber)? Closest is http://www.torhead.com/items/catg/2/subcatg/3/name/Battlelord http://www.torhead.com/item/d0onmHj/jedi-battlelords-chestguard#screenshots I have everything but the helm, bracers and belt on my Guardian. Looks awesome and feels like a Jedi during War.

I would enjoy this also. I agree with the example too. My BH and Trooper are the only main ones I show the helm, cause that's the type of characters I feel always have helms on. However in conversations it creates the "faceless character" mood. Even have it apply to hoods when we have an option to hide them. The Jedi removes his hood to speak and such.

More link options on the family tree. I am thinking about expanding on the Ally (keep that there still) and giving a Master/Apprentice link. Ability to add Romance/Married companions as part of the tree. Can only be linked to the character that has that companion. Maybe even allow other characters to be "companions" for alts and other characters. This could expanded on the ally and master/apprentice link. Or even to allow you to run around with your spouse/child. Rivals could be allowed as a "Helping each other to fight a shared enemy".

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Calendar would be a good place to start. The year in game depends on what Chapter you are in. Prologue+Ch 1 is 3643 BBY or 10 ATC. Chapter 2 is a year later at 3642 BBY, 11 ATC. And Chapter 3 is yet another year at 3641 BBY, 12 ATC. That seems to be results of research I've done for my character backgrounds.
